Shanxi specialty composition 600 words

Shanxi, known as the hometown of coal, lives up to its reputation-the coal output ranks first in the country. Shanxi has established seven large-scale mining bureaus and Huozhou medium-sized mining bureaus in Datong, Yangquan, Xishan, Fenxi, Lu 'an, Jincheng and Xuangang, and eight small unified mining bureaus in Dongshan, Yin Ying, Xiaoyu, Wangping, Zhaigou, Guzhuang and Nanzhuang, as well as the largest Sino-foreign joint-venture open-pit coal mine in China. The reserves are large enough to see. Speaking of vinegar, I have to say one more thing: since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shanxi has been famous for vinegar at home and abroad and became a pillar industry in Shanxi at that time. Thousands of years of historical accumulation has not only formed a profound "vinegar culture" in Shanxi, but also made vinegar workshops blossom everywhere. Up to now, there are still more than 1 100 vinegar making enterprises in Shanxi, with an annual output of 250,000 tons, accounting for about one tenth of the national total output, ranking first in the country, among which the annual output of aged vinegar is150,000 tons. Shanxi over-mature vinegar has a glorious history, and it has been riding in the vinegar industry in China.

Shanxi vinegar has a history of thousands of years. In the prosperous Tang and Song Dynasties, "Meiheju" mature vinegar has become famous at home and abroad, especially "Yiyuan Qing" mature vinegar has become a palace item. As an authentic representative of Shanxi vinegar, "Donghu" mature vinegar started slowly due to historical reasons. In fact, it is to maintain the original traditional craft. In recent years, "Donghu" mature vinegar has undergone great changes, which can be described as "three years without flying, soaring to the sky" and "three years without sound, making a blockbuster" The brand "East Lake" has changed so much that it has a bright future. The key lies in its inheritance of traditional experience. However, Shanxi mature vinegar, known as the first vinegar in China, is always inferior to Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar. Some people compare Shanxi mature vinegar to a declining aristocrat. In the increasingly fierce market competition, Shanxi mature vinegar has only "history" and "bitterness". In May this year, Zhenjiang Hengshun Fragrant Vinegar Group, the national leader in vinegar industry, invested heavily to acquire Shanxi vinegar factory on a large scale.

A person in charge of Shanxi Vinegar Brewing Association said: For many years, there have been two bottles, a wine bottle and a vinegar bottle in Shanxi. Now Zhenjiang has put forward an open challenge to vinegar bottles in Shanxi, and it is time for the government to make a big move. Over the years, the government has given little support to old vinegar. Although some related policies have been introduced, they all remain superficial and fail to solve practical problems. The brewing process of vinegar is more than wine, but the price is cheaper, so Shanxi vinegar enterprises have not developed in recent years. The point is that they have no money. If the government is indifferent to this situation, then the prospect of Shanxi mature vinegar is really worrying, and the expansion of Hengshun can only be said in four words: unable to meet the challenge!

At present, the average price of Shanxi vinegar per ton is only about 2000 yuan, and the annual sales income is less than 500 million yuan. Shanxi vinegar industry is generally small in scale and has little profit. The average price of Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar, one of the four famous vinegars, can reach 4500 yuan per ton, and the price difference between them is more than double. Only one enterprise, Hengshun, has an annual output of 80,000 tons and an annual output of more than 300 million yuan. The difference in economic benefits can be seen. Last year, Zhenjiang fragrant vinegar enterprises entered Shanxi and participated in the shares of personal vinegar enterprises. Shanxi vinegar industry is facing severe challenges from other provinces.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shanxi vinegar industry is at a critical juncture of life and death. On the one hand, many small enterprises in the province have been fighting for years, which consumes resources and destroys the market, and the enterprises are getting weaker and weaker; On the other hand, the continuous development of enterprises from other provinces has put a strong pressure on Shanxi vinegar industry. Shanxi vinegar industry is facing unprecedented severe challenges.
